Anybody scheduled for vaccination yet?

Has anyone heard that if you do not have a reaction to the shot it didn't 'take'
I don't really believe this..but maybe I will google ..just in case 🤔

I've never heard that before and don't believe it's true. When I got the flu shot I didn't have any reaction at all and I have no doubt that it worked.

When my son’s girlfriend got COVID her symptoms were a very mild cold, while my son was moderately ill. She tested because he tested positive, and she was positive as well. It is clear that virus affects people differently so I am sure the vaccine does as well.

Myself, my son, his girlfriend, and my daughter had the sore arms from hell from the vaccine. My husband“s arm didn’t hurt at all. Just depends on who you are, like everything else in life.

Since so many people seem to have a more intense response to the second shot, it sounds like a possibility that not having a reaction might mean the first didn't 'take' very well. I wonder if someone had covid itself whether they would have a more intense reaction to the first shot? Maybe all due to random individual immune system responses though.

My understanding is that if you haven't had Covid, the first shot helps your system build up antibodies, then the second shot causes them to ramp up. So the second shot will likely cause a bigger response.

If you've already had Covid, the first shot causes the ramp up, and therefore a big response. Not sure how the second shot goes in that scenario though.

Son has Covid; moderate, no response to vaccine, his girlfriend had mild covid and quite a reaction to the first shot that lasted 2 days.
 
The Spousal Equivalent got his second shot yesterday afternoon and today he's sick. Low-grade fever, a little achiness, extreme tiredness and some nausea. As he's almost never sick, I'm afraid it's a reaction to the vaccine, which I have read can happen sometimes with the second shot.

I got MY second one today. Now I'm questioning every little twinge. Am I hot? Am I more tired than usual? Was that a wave of nausea? Arrrggghhhh, the hypochondria gene is awakening!!! Am I going to get sick? Only time will tell. If I don't wake up tomorrow morning, just remember I love you all and I'll put in a good work for ya with the Guy upstairs or the guy downstairs.....LOL.
 
Got my first Jab yesterday-Astra Zeneca.Would have refused Pfizer.
Not even got a sore arm...and vaccinations must return us to complete normality or what’s the point of them?

Why would you refuse Pfizer? It’s supposed to be the best one and is the only vaccine that people 16 years and above are approved to receive here in the states. That says to me, it’s the safest vaccine or at least more tested.

The Astra-Zeneca one, as I understand it, is the one that might be causing blood clots and the one that several countries are refusing to give at this point in time. Although I think it may be a certain batch of Astra Zeneca.

The Astra Zeneca is not in the USA yet. I would have liked to the Johnson vaccine, only one shot but I got the Pfizer. Had to take what they had, and so glad I am fully vaccinated

There have been cases of anaphylaxis with Pfizer and it was suggested that those with previous bad reactions to a vaccine should not have it..I have form there...

Oh yes if you had anaphylactic reaction to meds, then you had to wait half hour instead of 15 minutes. It is not so much the vaccine but your bodies response to meds. Since I had this reaction to two different meds, I had to wait the half hour.
 
Had 'em both - Pfizer - A bit sleepy for a couple of days after the second shot. Same with my wife but no other ill effects. We're in our mid/late 80's and my wife had been ill for the past year with Vasculitis so her health is not the best at the moment. Her specialist recommended that she get the vaccine as soon as possible, which she did.
